fold over 2

He could feel the push and pull of open palms

Moistened like relief, facing the sun as an offering to Zeus

No God can know the feeling of all mortality in one moment

Joy is only palpable to those who know regret

And regret is only palpable to those who know change

Gaining momentum to those who know starting, push

If legends never die, then release the cords strapped to my heart

If it continues beating, then observe the seconds before the burial cures us all

They are hollow in the wake of forever

Stagnant in the forgotten beats of its melody

But moving calmly through the waves of silence,

Our memory can be only as good as our powers of observation

And the company we keep

And what they point at for us to see

Using red dots to teach lessons, I camouflage into silver linings

Covered by clouds stalking, wonder if cerebrals have o-zones

Layered like a thin coat of icing

We’re just hoping you won’t break through this time
